Zeus_Hunt Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 To further promote the release of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, which Apple Incorporated has announced will be available on October 26, the company has posted a guide tour to promote the release of the latest version of its operating system. The video goes through various features, old and new, of the OS available only on the Macintosh. A single-user license costs $129.00 direct from Apple while a five-user license will set you back just $199.00. Customers who pre-order OS X v10.5 from Apple are guaranteed to have their copy on their doorstep on the day of release, which is now just a week away.Video: Small | Medium | Large (QuickTime Required)Download: iPod (108MB) | Large (379MB)The thing I love about apple products is the ease that constitutes their every product.If you have checked the tour, see how easy how appealing/eye candy the various new/old features are.Just compare System Restore in WinXP/Vista with Time Machine :welcome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gein Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 They're not really the same thing, though. Time Machine is a full backup solution with versioning. Let's see how it holds in real use or if it's just too streamlined for the sake of eye-candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I worked 2 yrs on these new PowerMacs, both Intel and Motorola(i think) based. they were nice, indeed. not that fast as advertised, and they were dual systems from 2ghz up. I liked the system though. really liked that there was no registry to clutter up with errors. but the speed... ill stick to the PCs here. and the tests i read pointed out, all of them, the net supperiority of the Macs... well, maybe mine were from a bad batch :welcome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how it holds in real use or if it's just too streamlined for the sake of eye-candy.I know, but even if M$ had come with something on the lines of Time Machine do u really expect the interface to be anywhere near what it is on Mac ?I am sad to see that they are still stuck with OK, next buttons that have been there for years.There was a good scope/chance for them to get more intutive with Vista... and look how it looks.Probably one can say that M$ is not purely on Home Desktop systems, so the home systems look very similar to the one done for office PCs.I was actually amazed at how TimeMachine looks. This is where Apple and M$ are so different. Just like the personalities of Bill and Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
